                             PART  III - NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.  (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)

     Rexhall Industries, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures and sells
class A motor homes.  The Company operates out of two main production
facilities located in Lancaster, California and Elkhart, Indiana.  The
Company's corporate offices are located at its Lancaster facility in
California.  The Company's controller left the Company on January 31, 1997
and is being replaced with a Chief Financial Officer.  Because of the timing of
the change in financial personnel the Company's auditors were not able to
furnish the financial information needed to file the Company's Form 10-K.

                          PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

     (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification

     Marco Martinez, 219/295-1805

     (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports) been filed?  If answer is no,
identify report(s) /x / Yes / / No

     (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
/x/ Yes / / No

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.


   3
     The Company and the auditors have not resolved accounting differences on
inventory balances, which may result in a significant decrease or possible
increase in earnings compared to the corresponding period for the last fiscal
year.  These differences are unresolved at the date of this filing.  For this
reason, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the results of operations.

                  (Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter)
